JFK T1 AF Lounge
I'm a Plat Amex cardholder flying out of T1 on a DL ticket on AF metal in PE in late May. Can anyone confirm whether I will be able to access the AF Lounge in T1? I know they accept Priority Pass but it appears the cut off is 1:30 pm. I won't get there until 2:30 pm.

If you are a DL Platinum Medallion member (as your profile lists) then you will get AF lounge access in JFK as a SkyTeam Elite Plus member departing on a SkyTeam member-operated international flight.

Sorry, need to update after I lost my Plat status. I'm a lowly Silver now.

Since you're flying in W, you should be able to purchase lounge access for $50. While this is "subject to availability", the lounge should still be pretty empty around 2:30. (It gets jammed prior to the A380 flights.)

You could try presenting your Priority Pass card, occasionally they give some leeway ... but be prepared for a potentially frosty reception.
There is also the Korean lounge in Priority Pass of course, but it is very underwhelming. Though IMO the AF lounge isn't anything amazing either; the lounge options at T1 are pretty meh all around.
